VARIABLE DEVICE
UN CODENAME: ENEMY VALKYRIE, EVA

COMMENT:
TYPE: all-regime variable fighter, two confirmed modes (Fighter and Battroid).

PROGRAMME: In 2030 November, several Zentradi elements revolted on Earth, culminating in the Second [Defensive] Battle of Macross City. During these incidents, former Zentradi soldiers (which had earlier deserted the 63254109th Zentradi Outer Space Army) captured a VF-X-11 equipped with a fold booster. Thereafter, UN pilots began reporting sightings of a previously unknown variable combat device. This device, which they codenamed "Enemy Valkyrie" or "EVA" (pronounced "i-va"), shocked the United Nations Forces with its speed, power, and transformability. It incorporated the UN Forces' variable fighter technology with the Zentradi Army's power suit technology, and its capabilities appear to approach, if not exceed, those of the UN's VF-19 and VF-22.

POWER PLANT: Unknown. Vernier(s) unknown.

AVIONICS: The variable device appears to incorporate an enhanced developmental version of Queadluun-Rau's systems.
